A 29-year-old English biker who rode dangerously around the TT course at high speed has been jailed for two months for dangerous driving.

David Brian Glossop, from Wilmslow in Cheshire, admitted the charge in relation to the incident, which happened just after this year's Manx Grand Prix.

The prosecution said a police motorcyclist with a video camera was travelling on the Cronk y Voddy straight towards Kirk Michael when he was overtaken by a bike at the crossroads, approaching a blind bend.

Glossop's bike went around two more blind bends on the wrong side of the road and was clocked by the police officers at a speed of over 100 miles per hour as he reached a 60mph zone.

He slowed down to below 30 mph through Kirk Michael village where he was stopped by police and given notice of prosecution.

His advocate Hazel Carroon said the defendant could not offer any explanation for his actions. He was very remorseful and she urged for a suspended sentence.

Glossop had a previous conviction for dangerous driving in the UK in 2007 which he had admitted to her - though the prosecution had no knowledge of this.

Mr Moyle said he was giving credit for the defendant's honesty in admitting the charge, but he had to be consistent in sentencing.

He told Glossop his riding was extremely dangerous and banned him from driving for two-and-a-half years.
